I think the processor in the camera is to process the real time images taken from the camera and translating it into digital instructions, that is a lot of data to be processed, it needs to keep up with your real time motions, at least decently high fps, lots of pictures to be parsed.

Its silly to think the main machine can offload processing of graphics or other assets onto the camera, simply due to the latency, not to mention queue and availability issues. The xbox kernel would have to process a lot more info just to decide what goes where and how to piece them back together on top of all the action on screen and all camera captures. And what if the camera was broken, will the once pretty game turn into a mess, and what about people that don't own it?

As for "new platform", Natal (hardware) is a new platform for new software, its how these guys talk.
